Tyson Fury caused some confusion with his comments on Monday (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tyson Fury<\/a> surprised the boxing world by announcing his retirement from the sport<\/a> on Monday and he did so with a interesting flourish.<\/p>\n

The Gypsy King has lost his last two fights, both to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>, and he appears to have hung up his gloves after posting a video on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether he actually does retire is yet to be seen<\/a>, as he has made this claim before only to fight again, but another comment in the video added some intrigue as Fury said: ‘Dick Turpin wore a mask.’<\/p>\n

Fury said in the social media<\/a> post: ”Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. ‘I would like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it.<\/p>\n

‘And I’m going to end with this… Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody see you on the other side. Get up!’<\/p>\n

What could Tyson Fury mean by his ‘Dick Turpin wore a mask’ comment?<\/h2>\n

Turpin was a famous highwayman in the first half of the 18th century, executed in 1739 at the age of just 33.<\/p>\n

A masked robber and killer, Turpin’s name has lived on in history and been romanticised thanks to works such as William Harrison Ainsworth’s 1834 book Rookwood, in which Turpin was the leading character.<\/p>\n
